Laika — текст песни (Moxy FrГјvous)

(Mike)
When I was 3, my mother said to me
Eat up your greens and say your grace
While on TV they put a dog in space
And left her there... you shoulda seen her face

(Mike)
When I was 5, the dream was still alive
And Walter Cronkite said: "One day we`ll earn our daily bread
Conducting things in outer space"
But still on earth I thrive... and you pretend I`m not alive

(All)
And walk by with my substitute
(Mike through distortion)
While I fasten the oxygen valve
On my space suit

(Mike)
When I was 8, we shared a cloakrack - it was great
And I pretended I had so much on my plate
I had a speech to write, about moonshot trajectory
And during phonics class, perfected my delivery

(All)
Now the band`s playing "Hail to the Chief"
(Mike through distortion)
While my capsule`s out floating by some
Tropical reef

(Mike)
all the experts can agree on

(All)
regarding your motives
in the cape canaveral crash...
is that they know nothing

(Jian, Mike, & Dave alternate the following lines)
it puzzles me so...
it puzzles me so...
it puzzles me so...

(Mike)
Now I`m full grown, and I`ve a spacecraft of my own
But there you sit, still upon your Earthly throne
Hey darling, throw this space-pup a bone
Don`t touch that dial, don`t hang up that phone

[The following section is repeated several times, ending the tune]

(Jian & Dave)
Band`s playin` hail to the chief
(Murray)
It puzzles me so...
(Mike)
Don`t hang up that phone
